So I tried it and it's a hell of a lot harder. But I think I have it licked - it's all about speed! I can rotate my ankle clockwise and draw a six in the air (starting from the top, not the reverse) if I go really slowly. But only if I go slowly. If I start to unconsciously speed up, my ankle reverses direction...The Lethological Gourmethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08728934244935813026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-20200965386826748032007-08-28T06:21:00.000-04:002007-08-28T06:21:00.000-04:00Randi,A Powerful Brain that thinks a knee is an an...Randi,<BR/>A Powerful Brain that thinks a knee is an ankle--I have a brain that's Powerful like that too!<BR/><BR/>Hi Toad,<BR/>Okay I'm pretty impressed by the double jointed toes!

I thought my brain was too powerful for this until I realized I was moving my leg in circles (knee down). when I just move my foot, ankle down, yes this works.
